Steve never fear, your boat is still in one piece and hasn't been attacked by a 5.8. Unfortunately the same can not be said for Wills boat.

Hi All
The wind blew and we all had a rip roaring, beer drinking, boat breaking good time at the Kembla Klassic last weekend. Six F18s attended and five F18s went home with broken stuff. All part of the preparation for the nationals in Geelong where, reportedly the wind blows fresh to frightening everyday. It was close racing between Brewin and Ogilvie with Richard just beating James. Ian Simpson and his new crew came third which was a good effort for the young bloke who had only sailed on the wire once before the regatta, All the results are on the website www.pksc.com.au
Steve Brewins A class came off second best in a collision with a 5.8. The bow of the A was completely torn off. Despite the carnage we all had a great time. It was quite an Australian cultural celebration with the heat, camping, barbeque and the essential beer drinking competition. Trevor Lowder enthusiastically led the rest of the boys astray (not that they needed much encouragement) in competing in beer sculling competitions against the monohull sailors. The boys yet again proved the well known fact that cat sailors can drink beer faster than the mono sailors.
Gossip; Stuart bought a Nacra infusion and we picked it up last Thursday. Stu was working last weekend so I took it down to Port Kembla to race with Kyle doing me a favour and crewing. James took a day off work last Friday to help me set the boat up. Without the help of James and Kyle I couldn't have got the boat on the water to race. A big thankyou to the boys. Now we have to sell the Tiger. Any enquires ring Stuart on 0421878823
The next race is at Speers Point next Saturday 12th December. They will be doing the one long race starting at 2.00pm with windward returns and triangles. Stuart and I can't make it and neither can James but Kyle will be racing. Are any other Sydney boats making the trek to Lake Macquarie? This will be the last race before the Nationals. On Monday I will be away on holidays for a few weeks with the family so Merry Christmas to all and see you at the nationals
